SUP-Now Paddleboard Carry Strap Shoulder Sling

I recently purchased the SUP-NOW Paddle Board Accessories Carrier SUP Carrying Strap, and I can confidently say it’s been a game-changer for my paddleboarding adventures! This strap makes transporting my board effortless and comfortable, leaving me free to enjoy the water instead of dreading the trek from my car. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or just starting out, this accessory is a must-have. Pros: • Super Easy to Use: The setup is a breeze—just wrap the straps around your board, secure the paddle with the Velcro, and you’re good to go. It took me less than five minutes to figure out the first time! • Comfortable Design: The triple-padded neoprene shoulder pad is a standout feature. It’s soft, durable, and distributes the weight of my board perfectly, saving my shoulder from strain even on longer walks. • Sturdy and Reliable: With all-metal hardware and industrial-strength Velcro straps, this thing feels built to last. I’ve carried my heavy rigid paddleboard multiple times, and it holds up without a hitch. • Hands-Free Convenience: The paddle holder is genius—I can use the paddle as a handle or just secure it and carry other gear with my free hands. It’s made trips to the water so much smoother. • Adjustable Fit: The strap adjusts to fit both me (5’4”) and my taller partner (6’1”), and it works with boards of all sizes. Plus, the lifetime warranty gives me peace of mind that SUP-NOW stands behind their product. Cons: • Slight Learning Curve: While it’s easy once you get the hang of it, the first setup might feel a bit fiddly if you don’t read the updated instructions carefully. • Not Ideal for Super Heavy Boards Over Long Distances: It’s great for most trips, but if you’ve got a really heavy board and a half-mile hike, you might still feel the weight on your shoulder after a while. (Though wheels might be a better option in that case anyway.) • Paddle Strap Could Be Tighter: The Velcro is strong, but on windy days, I’ve noticed the paddle wiggle a bit—nothing major, just a minor tweak I’d love to see improved. Overall, the SUP-NOW Carrying Strap has made my paddleboarding experience so much more enjoyable. It’s well-made, practical, and worth every penny. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to simplify their board transport—five stars all the way!

This works exactly as expected and the quality is amazing. I’m 5’2 and it always hurt to carry my board. This takes the pressure off of my arm and the fact you can attach your paddle and use it as a handle makes it even better. I leave it attached to my board while on the water and just unhook the shoulder strap and stow it while paddling. I even leave it attached after deflation so it’s super quick and easy for my next paddle. I highly recommend this item!!

This item was much better than I hoped for and I had high hopes to begin with. The design is very simple. 2 straps go around your board and you tighten them up and adjust the clips to one side of your board then attach the shoulder strap. The straps can stay on your board and you can easily unclip the shoulder strap to avoid drag while paddling. Quick and convenient! The straps are well padded and feel like you could walk a great distance without an issue. The board stays close to your body and if you have your straps located near the center of the board then the board balances out and barely feels like you're carrying anything. The magic of the straps for me personally are the Velcro pieces. Line them up on the top of the board and you can strap your paddle down while carrying. It also gives you an anchor point for your paddle while doing SUP Yoga of if you were on a lazy creek ride and wanted to take some pics. For those wondering about size I have a titanic board and the straps fit with plenty of room left for adjustments. My board is 14' and 4 3/4" thick. It's a HovieSUP Pursuit racing/touring model board. If the straps will easily fit my big boy they will fit your board. An added nice touch is one of the straps have a little mesh storage compartment. I was trying a few different pair of polarized glasses out yesterday on the water and placed one pair in the pouch. It doesn't completely close but it will keep items inside and secure. Convenient for those who tour and take a lot of items with them!

For those who about 5'2" or less and have a board that is 12' long or more, these straps my help save your hard board from accidentally hitting/tapping the ground on either end when transporting to/from water/vehicle. My problem with a hard paddleboard: -Without the straps, there is only 1 point of support when transporting the board if one is holding it via the handle in the center. Holding it here creates a fulcrum. This means your board has essentially become a see-saw/teeter-totter in which either end can bonk the ground quite easily and if you have a "light weight" fiberglass board... be warned... those things can shatter with minimal contact to the ground. I purchased a name brand hard board from a paddle board company and just barely (accidentally) tapped the back corner end on the ground and thought I had only chipped a tiny amount of paint but it ended up being a big enough crack that air/water was passing through. I was only able to see how bad the crack was by taking a photo of it and then zooming in. Otherwise, the cracks could not be seen. At only 5'2", holding my board this way, it is already quite low to the ground and my board is only 27" wide. So one small tip one direction, it hits the ground, fast. Quicker than I can counteract. These straps have significantly improved my ability to control the board as there are two points of support on the board, preventing production of a fulcrum. Also, if you have weaker wrists, these straps will help you get your hard board on the water with greater ease and less wrist strain. I just place the board in the water, unlatch the straps and place them under the bungees located at the bow. Repeat in reverse when I am done. These straps have saved my board from more tips/drops and due to improved control, transport is much easier. IMHO, the water bottle carrier is useless. I don't bother with it and have tossed it in the trash because it is cumbersome. I carry a small dry bag to hold my water, keys, phone, etc. The paddle strap comes in handy, definitely. I also may or may not use the padded shoulder strap. I have better control when I carry the board by each strap that wraps around the board. Always be careful with the metal hooks though- they are so easily placed on/off... that they can also easy undo without one realizing it. Its a good thing I double check the metal hooks before I lift the board- that's how I saw that it was undone on its own. Since this is essential to preventing dropping the board, 1 star removed.

Works well

I used this for my paddle board but noticed so much more drag while paddling and ended up pulling it off while in the water. I could not get it to fit super tight. It does work to carry it but I’m short so I still need to hold onto the board so it doesn’t drag one one end or the other. It’s ok for what it is. I wish it had clips instead of the hooks to make it easier to tighten and install.

This made it so much easier to carry my kayak. They went on the kayak pretty easily once I adjusted it all to correctly. The only issue I had was that one of the staps would sometimes easily loosen when I picked up the kayak. So I had to keep tightening it and trying to wrap the strap up so it wouldn't loosen. But, overall I'm happy with my purchase and may get others for my other kayaks. UPDATE 1/19/21 - I kept meaning to do an update. The seller saw my review and, without me asking, sent me a replacement because of the strap that would loosen. Amazing customer service! They even offered a refund, but I felt more than satisfied with the replacement. The straps worked great on my 10' Kayak. It is almost impossible to carry alone, but with the strap I could do just that (normally I am with family, but I needed something to use on my solo trip and this was exactly what I needed). I thought about a wheeled dolly cart, but I went this route because once I went on the water I didn't want to want to worry about the cart on my kayak. The straps are very portable, light, and easy to store and use. Great purchase ... may need to buy one or two more sets for our other kayaks.

Better than expected, great packaging nice quality. I wasn’t expecting to be able to carry my paddle as well very comfortable. Easy to use strap

Super easy to use and can go anywhere without needing to worry about the terrain like you would with a wheeled one. The paddle strap and water bottle holder just add to it. Lived it enough to buy a second one. Well worth the money.

This was a game-changer for me, I've got a 12' SUP that was really awkward to carry more than a minute or two, so happy this product existed and works as advertised! I had initially tried throwing the carry strap over my head and onto my opposite shoulder, but it's more comfortable to just have on the same shoulder as the board, it didn't move around or slip off like I had assumed it would have. If it gets super windy, you might want to have it on your opposite shoulder to make sure it doesn't slip off. Be sure to check out SUP-Now's cooler bag too if you haven't seen it already!

Un coup bien ajuster, il facilite le transport du paddle. Surtout si nous avons une certaine distance a parcourir avant d'arriver à l'eau.

J'adore

I had it in my head for a few years that I’d like to paddle board. After some research on good beginner boards I Finally took the plunge and purchased this board. It was easy to set up and easy to carry. I was able to stand up and paddled around the lake for a few hours the first day I owned it. It is very comfortable, for sit, stand or kneeling. The option to use the kayak style paddle is fantastic and allowed me an easy transition from lake to river. I am very happy with my purchase!!!!
